img directive doesn't work on pages that are processed by ikiwiki-pandoc

The [[!img]] directive works for me in pandoc-processed pages on my own personal wiki. I also tried it on a fresh install of ikiwiki + ikiwiki-pandoc, and it worked there as well. So I'm pretty sure that the problem is caused by some kind of misconfiguration on your end.

You mention pdf processing specifically. Does the directive work for other image types? If so, you might have to add or change the img_allowed_formats setting in your .setup file so as to add pdf to your allowed formats. If it is present, but pdf processing fails anyway (while, e.g., jpg works), this might be because ghostscript is missing on your machine – this is an external program which ImageMagick uses for handling pdf, ps and eps files.

Do you get any error messages related to image processing when you run ikiwiki --setup my.setup or similar?

Sorry, I forgot to check which ikiwiki version you were using. I can see that there have been several changes to the img plugin since version 3.2015061, among them the addition of the img_allowed_formats setting, so that is not really relevant to your case. Even so, after examining these changes they do not seem to me to be likely to have affected the usability of the directive on pandoc-backed pages. (But of course updating ikiwiki would be a good idea anyway).

Indeed Image::Magick was "missing" because I had tried out perlbrew and the perl used didn't have imagemagick installed. I probably should've checked a little closer, but yeah, that is at least the "issue" with ikiwiki-pandoc.

Of course, it might also be a bug.

Of course, might also be my own fault.
